Luxe List

I love browsing Instagram for new brands and discovering best kept secrets. I recently stumbled across one of Carin Olsson author of Paris in four Months Instagram picture and could not take my eyes off her beautiful flats. Because Instagram lets you link other users in photo's it was easy to find the brand. Thus I discovered the beauty of Josefinas. Read more about all about how Josefinas was started and don't miss out on the video posted below! I'm thoroughly obsessed with the pair pictured above and will be saving my pennies for them. These are a worthy investment piece in my book!

Casual Lace

I am loving the hot weather, it finally feels like true summer here in Minnesota. I was inspired to wear one of my many summer cocktail dresses that I have accumulated over the past couple years due to the many weddings we have had :) So even though I may not have as many reasons to dress up this summer, I still want to wear all of my dresses. So I combined a casual jean jacket, flat sandals, and an everyday handbag. It's an easy look, perfect for a coffee date or happy hour. "Cas" down those dresses ladies for extra use in your wardrobe :)

4th of July Getaway {Lifestyle}

P and I just got back late last night from a long fourth of July cabin trip with my family. It has been so long since all of us have been together in one place for a couple days so we all just soaked up every minute of it. We adventured down the Brule River, hiked up one of the palisades on Clearwater Lake, cliff jumped, played whiffle ball off the dock, cooked, went boating and fishing, and laughed a ton. Family times together are incredibly special, and this long weekend is one I will remember forever! Have an amazing day everyone. 

With Love,

A

Save or Splurge

Zara $49.90                                                                 Tibi $295

Ever since seeing the Tibi off the shoulder tunic I was smitten, but that price tag YIKES! I was shocked (in a great way) to see such a close replica in Zara's new arrivals. I will be ordering it pronto along with these pretty little flat sandals that are apart of the summer sale.

Linen

Happy Monday! Hope you had a wonderful 4th! 

I've been drawn to linen this summer, the fabric is breathable and light and with the high temps we have been having in Seattle it has been perfect. I'm still able to feel put together without overheating! This dress is a complete steal now an additional 60%. I'm also loving this linen number from H&M. Do you have any fabrics you gravitate too in the summer months?
